  I just bought a business and the domain name has just expired. How do I switch it to my name and claim the domain name?

  Hi there!

  Domain expiration is a complicated process that takes about 80 days. If your domain has expired recently, then there might be a chance to recover it. You can learn more about domain expiration here:

  Recover an Expired or Cancelled Domain

  I have tagged the staff and they can help you with the domain recovery.

  Hi there,

  I found the domain in our system and there is a possibility we can restore it. However, we can only restore the domain to the original user account, clymerl . Do you have access to that WordPress.com username account? If so, I will need for you to post into this thread to verify ownership of the account and then we can proceed with the domain restoration.

  Let me know if you have any questions.

  Thanks!
